Spalding's 
Atjiletic Library 

Anticipating the present ten- 
dency of the American people 
toward a healthful method of living 
and enjoyment, Spalding's Athletic 
Library was established in 1892 for 
the purpose of encouraging ath- 
letics in every form, not only by 
publishing the official rules and 
records pertaining to the various 
pastimes, but also by instructing, 
until to-day Spalding's Athletic 
Library is unique in its own par- 
ticular field and has been conceded 
the greatest educational series on 
athletic and physical training sub- 
jects that has ever been compiled. 
The publication of a distinct 
series of books devoted to athletic 
sports and pastimes and designed 
to occupy the premier place in 
America in its class was an early 
idea of Mr. A. G. Spalding, who 
was one of the first in America 
to publish a handbook devoted to 
athletic sports, Spalding's Official 
Base Ball Guide being the initial 
number, which was followed at intervals with other handbooks on the 
sports prominent in the '70s. 

Spalding's Athletic Library has had the advice and counsel of Mr. A. G. 
Spalding in all of its undertakings, and particularly in all books devoted 
to the national game. This applies especially to Spalding's Official 
Base Ball Guide and Spalding's Official Base Ball Record, both of which 
receive the personal attention of Mr. A. G. Spalding, owing to his early 
connection with the game as the leading pitcher of the champion Boston 
and Chicago teams of 1872-76. His interest does not stop, however, with 
matters pertaining to base ball; there is not a sport that Mr. Spalding 
does not make it his business to become familiar with, and that the 
Library will always maintain its premier place, with Mr. Spalding's able 
counsel at hand, goes without saying. 

The entire series since the issue of the first number has been under 
the direct personal supervision of Mr. James E. Sullivan, President 
of the American Sports Publishing Company, and the total series of 
consecutive numbers reach an aggregate of considerably over three 
hundred, included in which are many "annuals," that really constitute 
the history of their particular sport in America year by year, back copies 
of which are even now eagerly sought for, constituting as they do the 
really first authentic records of events and official rules that have ever 
been consecutively compiled. 

When Spalding's Athletic Library was founded, seventeen years ago, 
track and field athletics were practically unknown outside the larger 
colleges and a few athletic clubs in the leading cities, which gave occa- 
sional meets, when an entry list of 250 competitors was a subject of com- 
ment; golf was known only by a comparatively few persons; lawn tennis 
had some vogue and base ball was practically the only established field

EDITORS OF SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY 

sport, and that in a professional way; basket ball had just been invented; 
athletics for the schoolboy— and schoolgirl— were almost unknown, and 
an advocate of class contests in athletics in the schools could not get a 
hearing. To-day we find the greatest body of athletes in the world is 
the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, which has had 
an entry list at its annual games of over two thousand, and in whose 
"elementary series" in base ball last year 106 schools competed for the 
trophy emblematic of the championship. 

While Spalding's Athletic Library cannot claim that the rapid growth 
of athletics in this country is due to it solely, the fact cannot be denied 
that the books have had a great deal to do with its encouragement, by 
printing the official rules and instructions for playing the various games 
at a nominal price, within the reach of everyone, with the sole object 
that its series might be complete and the one place where a person 
could look with absolute certainty for the particular book in which he 
might be interested. 

In selecting the editors and writers for the various books, the lead- 
ing authority in his particular line has been obtained, with the result 
that no collection of books on athletic subjects can compare with 
Spalding's Athletic Library for the prominence of the various authors 
and their ability to present their subjects in a thorough and practical 
manner. 

A short sketch of a few of those who have edited some of the lead' 
ing numbers of Spalding's Athletic Library is Given herewith : 



JAMES E. SULLIVAN

pany; entered the publishing house of Frank

WALTER CAMP 

For quarter of a century Mr. Walter Camp 
of Yale has occupied a leading position in col- 
lege athletics. It is immaterial what organiza- 
tion is suggested for college athletics, or for 
the betterment of conditions, insofar as college 
athletics is concerned, Mr. Camp has always 
played an important part in its conferences, 
and the great interest in and high plane of 
college sport to-day, are undoubtedly due more 
to Mr. Camp than to any other individual. Mr. 
Camp has probably written more on college 
athletics than any other writer and the leading papers and maga- 
zines of America are always anxious to secure his expert opinion on foot 
ball, track and field athletics, base ball and rowing. Mr. Camp has grown 
up with Yale athletics and is a part of Yale's remarkable athletic system. 
While he has been designated as the "Father of Foot Ball," it is a well 
known fact that during his college career Mr. Camp was regarded as one 
of the best players that ever represented Yale on the base ball field, so 
when we hear of Walter Camp as a foot ball expert we must also remem- 
ber his remarkable knowledge of the game of base ball, of which he is a 
great admirer. Mr. Camp has edited Spalding's Official Foot Ball Guide 
since it was first published, and also the Spalding Athletic Library book 
on How to Play Foot Ball. There is certainly no man in American college 
life better qualified to write for Spalding's Athletic Library than Mr. 
Camp. 



DR. LUTHER HALSEY GULICK 

The leading exponent of physical training 
in America; one who has worked hard to im- 
press the value of physical training in the 
schools; when physical training was combined 
with education at the St. Louis Exposition in 
1904 Dr. Gulick played an important part in 
that congress; he received several awards for 
his good work and had many honors conferred 
upon him; he is the author of a great many 
books on the subject; it was Dr. Gulick, who, 
acting on the suggestion of James E. Sullivan, 
organized the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, and 
was its first Secretary; Dr. Gulick was also for several years Director of 
Physical Training in the public schools of Greater New York, resigning 
the position to assume the Presidency of the Playground Association of 
America. Dr. Gulick is an authority on all subjects pertaining to phys- 
ical training and the study of the child.

History of the Association 



The first Inter-Collegiate contest in gymnastics was held 
March 22, 1899, at the New York University gymnasium, and 
was an unqualified success. While there was no association at 
that time, this meet has been regarded as the first meet of the 
Inter-Collegiate Association of Amateur Gymnasts of America, 
which was formed in the following year. The following colleges 
were present at the meeting in 1899: Amherst, Brown, Columbia, 
Cornell, Harvard, Haverford, Lafayette, Lehigh, New York 
University, Princeton, Rutgers, Swarthmore, Trinity, Union, 
University of Virginia, Wesleyan, Yale, and University of Penn- 
sylvania. From these participants the following entered the 
Association which was formed in the following year : Columbia, 
Harvard, Haverford, New York University, University of Penn- 
sylvania, Princeton, Rutgers, and Yale. During the year 1910 
Amherst and College of the City of New York were admitted 
to the Association. During the year 191 1 Lehigh was admitted.

Thirteenth Annual Intercollegiate 
Championships 



The Intercollegiate Championships were held March 20, 191 1, 
in the Yale University gymnasium, and were an unqualified 
success. The management was excellent and the last event was 
finished by 11 o'clock, which is a record for promptness. 

As was expected, Yale won the team championship with ease, 
but the total of points was larger than was anticipated. They 
had the best all-round team seen in several years and scored in 
every event except the club swinging. 

Rutgers repeated last year's performance and took second 
place by scoring first and second in the club swinging. Univer- 
sity of Pennsylvania took third with seven points, scored by 
Woll and Kelley in tumbling and parallel bars. Harvard and 
Princeton tied for fourth place with five each, while Columbia, 
Haverford and New York University divided up the rest. 

Captain E. G. Clarke of Yale was the individual star, with 
two first places, which he won with beautifully finished per- 
formances on the high bar and rings. Everard won the parallel 
bars for the third time in his career and tied for second on 
the horse, as well as taking second in the All-Round. Callahan 
showed a fine assortment of combinations and good endurance, 
winning second on the high bar and taking the All-Round 
Championship by a safe margin. Belcher scored a second on 
the rings and would have had a place on the horizontal but for 
an unfortunate slip. Ruge, who has won second on the 
parallels the past two years, dropped to third this year. In 
tumbling, E. A. Clark won third and would probably have been 
placed higher had he stayed on the mat. 

Coryell of Harvard scored a good, clean-cut win on the horse 
as well as taking third in the All-Round. Woll of Pennsyl- 
vania, who took second in tumbling two years ago, came back 
this year and tied for first with Moffatt of Princeton. Nelson 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 9 

and Briggs of Rutgers repeated their fine work of last year 
and took first and second in the clubs, while this year Phillips 
of New York University had to divide third place with Bailey 
of Haverford. 

Although the number of entries was not as great as in some 
years past, the standard of work was better in all events except 
the horizontal bar.

professional for a prize; or with a professional where gate money 
is charged; nor has ever at any time taught, pursued, or assisted 
at athletic exercises for money or for any valuable consideration. 
But nothing in this definition shall be construed to prohibit the 
competition between amateurs for medals, cups, or other prizes 
than money, and it is hereby expressly declared that this defini- 
tion is noc retroactive, and that all past acts of amateurs shall be 
judged in accordance with the provisions of the old definition; 
and that the foregoing definition shall take effect on and after the 
first day of February, 1900. 

To prevent any misunderstanding in reading the above, the 
Association draws the attention to the following explanations 
and adjudications: 

An athlete has forfeited his right to compete as an amateur, 
and has thereby become a professional, by — 

(a) Ever having competed in an open competition, i.e., a 
competition, the entries to which are open to all, irrespective as 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. b'6 

to whether the competitors are amateurs or professionals, and 
whether such competition be for a prize or not, in any athletic 
exercise, viz., base ball, rowing, cricket, etc. 

(b) Ever having competed for money in any athletic exercise. 

(c) Ever having competed under a false name in any athletic 
exercise. 

(d) Ever having knowingly competed with a professional for 
a prize, or where gate money is charged, in any athletic exercise. 

(c) Ever having taught or pursued as a means of livelihood 
any athletic exercise. 

(f) Ever having directly or indirectly accepted or received 
remuneration for engaging in any athletic exercise. 

An athlete shall hereafter forfeit his right to compete as an 
amateur, and shall thereby become a professional, if, at any time 
after the foregoing definition shall take effect, he shall — 

(i) Directly or indirectly receive payment for training or 
coaching any other person in any athletic exercise. 

(2) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services ren- 
dered in teaching any athletic exercise. 

(3) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services ren- 
dered as referee, judge, umpire, scorer, manager, director, or in 
any other capacity at any professional exhibition or contest of 
any athletic exercise whatsoever. 

Note. — Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the accept- 
ance by any amateur of his necessary traveling expenses incurred 
as referee, judge, umpire, scorer, or starter, in going to and from 
the place of any amateur contest. 

(4) Directly or indirectly run, manage, or direct, for prospec- 
tive profit, any professional exhibition or contest. 

An amateur shall not forfeit his right to compete as an amateur, 
and shall not become a professional by — 

(a) Receiving compensation for services rendered as ticket- 
taker or ticket-seller at any contest or exhibition of amateur 
athletics. 

(b) Receiving compensation for services personally rendered 
as secretary, treasurer, manager, or superintendent of any ama- 
teur athletic club.

Durand-Steeli 
Lockers gj| 



Wooden lockers are objectionable* 

because they attract vermin, absorb odors, 
can be easily broken into, and are dangerous 
on account of fire. 

Lockers made from wire mesh 6t 
expanded metal afford little secur- 
ity, as they can be easily entered with wire cut* 
ters. Clothes placed in them become covered 
with dust, and the lockers themselves present 
a poor appearance, resembling animal cages 
Durand-Steel Lockers are made of finest 
grade furniture steel and are finished with 
gloss black, furnace-baked japan (400°), comparable 
iO that used on hospital ware, which will never flake 
off nor require refinishing, as do paints and enamels. 




Some

o/ fh& 6,0 Ourand-Steel Lockers Installed In in* 
Cymnaslums of Chicago. I2'x I5'x42', Doub'' Tier. 

Dor and- Steel Lockers are usually buiu v/ith 
doors perforated full length in panel design with sides 
and backs solid. This prevents clothes in one locker 
from coming in contact with wet garments 
in adjoining lockers, while plenty of venti- 
lation is secured by having the door perfo- 
rated its entire length, but, if the purchaser 
prefers, we perforate the backs also. , 

The cost of Dnrand-Steel Lockers 
is no more than that of first-class 
wooden lockers, and they last as long 
as the building, are sanitary, secure, and 
in addition, are fire-proof.

Standard Policy 

A Standard Quality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy. 

Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a manufacturer to long 
maintain a Standard Quality. 

To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a profit for the jobber as 
well as the retail dealer. To meet these conditions of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to 
set a proportionately high list price on his goods to the consumer. 

To enable the glib salesman, when booking his orders, to figure out attractive profits to both the 
jobber and retailer, these high list prices are absolutely essential; but their real purpose will have been 
served when the manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured his 
order from the retailer. 

However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer, who does not, and, in 
reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices. 

When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading but alluring high list 
prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and grapples with the situation as best he 
can, by offering "special discounts," which vary with local trade conditions. 

Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer and the jobber are 
assured; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices to the consumer, the keen competition 
amongst the local dealers invariably leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of 
the retailer are practically eliminated. 

This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. -The jobber insists on lower, and still 
lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his turn, meets this demand for the lowering of prices by the 
only way open to him, viz. : the cheapening and degrading of the quality of his product. 

The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that, 12 years ago, in 1899, A. G. Spalding 
& Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization in the Athletic Goods Trade, and inaugurated what 
has since become known as "The Spalding Policy." 

The "Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding Goods are concerned, 
and the retail dealer secures his supply of Spalding Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer 
under a restricted retail price arrangement by which the retail dealer is assured a fair, legitimate and 
certain profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and the consumer is assured a Standard Quality and is 
protected from imposition. 

The "Spalding Policy" is decidedly for the interest and protection of the users of Athletic Goods, 
and acts in two ways: 

First— The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods, and 
the same fixed prices to everybody. 

Second— As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in purchasing at 
the proper time, the very best raw materials required in the manufacture 
of our various goods, well ahead of their respective seasons, and this enables 
us to provide the necessary quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding 
Standard of Quality. 

All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are required to supply consumers at our 
regular printed catalogue prices— neither more nor less— the same prices that similar goods are sold 
for in our New York, Chicago and other stores. 

All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated exactly alike, and no 
special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone. 

Positively, nobody; not even officers, managers, salesmen or other employes of A. G. Spalding 
& Bros., or any of their relatives or personal friends, can buy Spalding Athletic Goods at a discount 
from the regular catalogue prices. 

This, briefly, is the "Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful operation for the 
past 1 " years, and will be indefinitely continued. 

In other words, " The Spalding Policy " is a " square deal " for everybody. 

A. G. SPALDING & BROS.

Standard Quality 

An article that is universally given the appellation *« Standard" is thereby 
conceded to be the Criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar nature. 
For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit of currency, 
because it must legally contain a specific proportion of pure gold, and the fact of its 
being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stamp thereon. As a protection to 
the users of this currency against counterfeiting and other tricks, considerable money 
is expended in maintaining a Secret Service Bureau of Experts. Under the law, citizen 
manufi. -ers must depend to a great extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices 
to protect -iselves against counterfeit products— without the aid of "Government 
Detectives " or " Public Opinion " to assist them. 

Consequently the "Consumer's Protection " against misrepresentation and "in- 
ferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the "Manufacturer/* 

A. G. Spalding & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to "Quality," for thirty- 
three years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout the world as a 
Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as the U. S. Currency is in its field. 

The necessity of upholding the guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and main- 
taining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvious as is the 
necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency. 

Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other con- 
sumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade-Mark and all 
that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic Goods to assist us in 
maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by insisting that our Trade-Mark be 
plainly stamped on all athletic goods which they buy, because without this precaution 
our best efforts towards maintaining Standard Quality and . preventing fraudulent 
substitution will be ineffectual. 

Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being 
high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of "inferior 
goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration. 

A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold and a 
guarantee to protect, must necessarily have higher prices than a manufacturer of cheap 
goods, whose idea of and basis for a claim for Standard Quality depends principally 
upon the eloquence of the salesman. 

We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than poverty 
in quality— and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.
